"Miroir, mon beau miroir, dis-moi qui est la plus belle ?" Autrement dit, est-ce que c'est la beauté en soi qui fait ce qui est beau et en photo? La beauté de l'instant présent n'a pas de prix. Elle ne s'explique pas, elle se ressent et se vit. Et je ressent cette beauté cette vie en Ukraine, même au travers des ukrainiennes et de leur courage a tout âge. La vie et la beauté a déjà gagné. A bientôt en Europe. et au fait j'adore vos photos...
"Mirror, my beautiful mirror, tell me who is the most beautiful?" In other words, is it beauty in itself that makes what is beautiful and in pictures? The beauty of the present moment is priceless. It cannot be explained, it is felt and lived. And I feel this beauty this life in Ukraine, even through Ukrainian women and their courage at all ages. Life and beauty has already won. See you soon in Europe. and by the way, I love your photos...
